The last surviving member of the Monkees is hoping to get to the bottom of what FBI files say about the 1960s pop group.
On Monday, drummer and singer Micky Dolenz filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking full access to the bureau’s documents on the band, according to Law&Crime.

J. Edgar kept files on everyone back then on paper exclusively in those times.
Will the Banana Republic secret police really be forced to show their monkee monitoring business ?
Some monkeys are more equal than others and just not sure how equal the Monkees are to the monkeys running the show
Apparently not playing your own instruments was, perhaps, a crime?
Were they redacted with White Out?

Michael Nesmith’s ma invented Liquid Paper - obviously a white supremecist.
Mickey isn’t the FBI’s stepping stone.
They were too busy singing to put anybody down.
Tennessee? Indiana? Arkansas? Virginia? Florida?
Whichever one the Monkees were singing about.
“Well I feel old all of a sudden.”
Me, too. I remember him in “Circus Boy”.
2nd picture is interesting. Would like to know who all is there other than Hendrix.
Mike Nesmith never gets the credit he deserves.
Are the Monkees the best band of all time, No, but way up there.
Were they redacted with White Out?
ICWYDT.....only Mike Nesmith’s mom knows, for sure ;-)
You missed Clarksville, Texas. Some decades ago you could get some killer African American tamales there.
Paul Revere and the Raiders had a hit with that one too.
Me too, I watched them every week.
